Please, I really want to roll and try every spec this time, but its terrible boring HAVE to complete the 1st story instance in order to get acess to verdant brink every time I roll up a new beta character.

And this time, I’ll have 7 elite specs to try (And possible jump from one another a couple of times), and Its horribly time-consuming have to re-do the whole first story instance in order to be able to play up on verdant brink.

Thank You, hope to see some changes to this for BWE2, cya!

PS: I am talking about the very first on SW, not the one on VB already. the one at VB is skipabble, the one at SW is not if you want acess to VB.

I’m not sure what you mean with story instance in SW? there is a vid that you skip and the rest is open world. You need to do an event to gain access to VB, that is not a story instance at all. It is in my opinion simular that you need to open the skritttunnels to get to the jumping puzzle. It doesn’t take long (5 minutes tops)

Why skip it? It gives you a hunk of xp towards your mastery training. If the events bug out it becomes your fastest way to get deeper into the mastery tiers.

If you mean just the very start sequence, it’s a cinematic and then a run to Amber with no real requirement to do anything but run. This assumes it’s not different this go-round, since we’re entering VB on the jungle floor this time and dealing with a crashed ship of nobles instead of Laranthir’s situation. So it might all be nice and new anyway.

Just think of it as part of the beta testing OP. That part needs to be tested also. Maybe even go in there and actively check for bugs.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I dunno, i completely hate the whole SW event to simple get acess to VB every time I create a new beta character. You can say that’s only 5~10 minutes, but that mulpliyed by 10 times (More in my case) to someone with very limited time to play and test each profession, it starts to get boring and time-consuming :|

This BWE is testing an entirely new section of map. No one has seen or done this part of the map yet so you will certainly not be doing anything you’ve done before.

You can go in the instance, then go to character select and relog. It should get you in the new map, without having done the story

I suppose I find the 20-30 minutes per new character reading through the traits, picking gear and upgrade stats to complement the traits, organizing inventory, applying better armor and weapon skins and dyes, and testing out what the various skills and utilities do takes up far more time than hustling from Red to Amber.

I’m pretty sure I tried this last bwe and it put me back at the beginning in Red Rock.

But the story instance is the best source of Mastery XP, since all the events are bugged!

The OP has started some persistent confusion bout the word instance.

The start of the beta is in the silverwastes. This is NOT an instance, but it is open world (though separated from the regular silverwastes map). You can recognise that it isn#t an instance cause you can meet other people there.

Once you’ve rescued the fort (amber sandfalls) a small new area comes available. This is where you are sent to an instance in Verdant Brinks. Once completed you are in the open world version of Verdant Brinks.

If you log out and back inside the beta version of the silverwastes, you will end up in the beta version of the silverwastes.

If you go out of the beta to the regular maps and return to a waypoint in the silverwaste you will end up in the non-beta version. Near red rock is a star that lets you re-enter the beta version.
If you log out and back in during the instance in verdant brinks, you will end up in the open world verdant brinks.

The OP is looking/asking for a way to bypass the open world beta version of the Silverwastes to go strait to the open world verdant brinks.
This is not possible
